For DU on Election Eve :)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

Sayonara
To the tune of: Camp Grenada – Alan Sherman

Goodbye Maverick, Goodbye Palin
And the sinking, ship you’re sailing
In the little, time remaining
We’ll see records set for negative campaigning

Socialism, Joe the Plumber
Could this crap get, any dumber
He’s a Muslim, wasn’t born here
You have truly entered stupid’s final frontier

And farewell to, Todd and Cindy
Billo and all, baggage windy
Schmidt and little, bouncing Tucker
Bye bye Hannity and Morris the toe sucker

Frozen over, must be hell when
I agree with Scott McLelland
Head exploding, must be Murdoch
Pissed that nobody asked Phil to pull a Parlock

Please go home, Oh John and Sarah
Please go home, Say Sayonara
We can’t wait until you’re both out of our hair
Please go home,
You’ll hardly hear when we rejoice
At least after we’ve lost our voice
Please please do not stay
We can’t take one more day

Where has George gone, why’s he hiding
It’s his coat tails, that they’re riding
The endorsement, by Dick Cheyney
Told John just what he once said to Patrick Leahy

In between the, moans and wailing
And the rush of, staffers bailing
May there be a, realization
That your losing is the best thing for this nation.

I'll look into that idea once the dust starts settling tonight

[dmr]

58. I had to sing along to these spot on words! Creative!

I had this album when I was a kid. If I remember correctly, Alan's big head was surrounded by peanuts, or something - I can almost see it in my aging mind. I sing 'Hello Muddah' all the time just to drive everyone nuts, now I've got another reason to sing this tune! I appreciate that!



'Morris the toe-sucker'! wasn't ready for that one, my laughter stopped my singing for a bit!

Thanks for the election-eve big chuckle!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

88. I grew up on the song too, dmr :)

From childhood, through Dr. Demento, though I'm not familiar with the album cover.

Thank you so much
